Chapter 2
Dinobot laid the last stone onto the pile covering Optimus' sparkless body and took a step back. The grave was among other stone piles blending in. It had no marking to show it as Optimus' resting-place. Dinobot had worked hard to find the perfect spot so the Predicons would never find it. The robot wasn't sure what to say, but after a moment he spoke. "You were a brave, extraordinary, fighter. A great leader and....friend. You died with honor." There was more he felt like saying, but the Raptor left it at that, turning and walking away. Over head a Peregrine Falcon flew silently in circles around the sight. After a few moments she silently followed Dinobot.
Optimus was gone. Dinobot had jumped to the conclusion of the Primates death many times, so the inedible had come, but he didn't feel the way he thought he would at this moment. In the past months he had grown to think of Optimus as a worthy leader and respected him. Now the fight with the Predicons fell onto his shoulders to complete alone.

"No sign of Ape bot or lizard bot." Waspinator's voice reported over the COM.
"With any luck they went into stasis lock." The newest Predicon, Black Aracnia stood leaning against the bridge's wall, watching the Predicon leader, Megatron in his command chair.
"I want to destroy Optimus myself. Yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss." The T-Rex said, standing up. "Black Aracnia, take Scorpinox and search on foot again the area surrounding the Maximals last location."
The Black Widow spider left the bridge without a word.
